Conqueror (Tank) was the other game like it. BTW - Zeewolf really benefits from being ran on a A1200 with some FastRAM. So much smoother.

The Amiga did recently get a proper conversion - but it requires an A1200/030 with FastRAM to get the most out of it. There is a version that's slightly cut-down graphically on the way for the vanilla A1200.

I used it as a CD-based Amiga 1200 using the SX32 expansion board. I had a 320MB HDD installed. 8 MB RAM, 3.5" Floppy, Printer, A1000 keyboard and a beefed up PSU. It was great...... SX32's are very expensive these days, but i'd recommend a TF328 expansion as the 8MB FastRAM will boost the speed.

Why was the A1200 a joke ? My biggest issue with it was it having no FastRAM out of the box. Could easily be added to double the speed of the system. CPU expansions were abundant if a little pricey and CD-ROMs took off in the AGA era.

Interesting Amiga 500 with an internal hard drive mount that hangs off the keyboard. It also has a DKB MegaChip for 2MB of ChipRAM. Nice!

We actually artificially extend loading screens so players have time to read the tips (I also think it helps give players a rest moment and helps with synthesizing information) but it genuinely never crossed my mind to just require a keypress to move on 🙃
SSD/FastRAM are great but I like waiting.

Good Times - Owning a 600 and a 1200 with squirrel SCSI CD 40MB hd and 4 MB fastram and only wanting a PC for Championship Manager 2
Bad Times - Being reminded of the good times in the same year that SIGames benched Football Managers release for the first time since then.

The four I would do.. 😎
Commodore 128 — can also run C64 software
ZX Spectrum
Atari 400
Amiga 1200 👍
(If I could do a fifth, it would definitely be an Apple II.) 🤓

..and *finally* the A1200 died. 😭
Found someone in a neighbouring town with an A4000 he was willing to sell. A 25MHz stock 030 wasn't fast enough for me, so I was able to find an Apollo 040 board with SCSI and FastRAM and then a PicassoIV GFX card. It was a beast. But *needed* WHDLoad for old games.

Ah well I had a friend who had an A1200 too, and he got a 40MHz 68030 accelerator for his. I ran unexpanded for a while, quickly ran out of hd-space, so upgraded the drive (maybe three times in the time I had it) 😄, and got a simple FastRAM expansion, which actually gives the stock 020 a good boost.

J’ai pas vu ça personnellement, et ce sont des techniques CPU uniquement. Sur les textures le ST est encore devant l’Amiga 500 car son framebuffer simplifie le process.
Par contre un A1200 avec FastRam explose un ST standard (il y a 7 ans entre les deux machines cependant)
